Mazmur 48

1 Mazmur kaum Korah. Sungguh agunglah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji di kota Allah kita, di bukit yang suci.

A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.

2 Sion, bukit Allah menjulang permai kota Raja Agung menggirangkan seluruh bumi.

Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.

3 Allah tinggal di dalam puri-purinya, ternyata Ia sendirilah pelindung-Nya.

In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.

4 Lihatlah, raja-raja berkumpul; mereka datang hendak menyerbu.

For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.

5 Tapi melihat bukit itu, mereka tercengang; mereka gempar dan lari kebingungan.

They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.

6 Di sana mereka gemetar ketakutan dan kesakitan, seperti wanita yang mau melahirkan,

Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.

7 seperti kapal yang hancur dalam topan.

By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.

8 Seperti yang kita dengar, kini kita melihatnya, di Kota TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa. Kota itu adalah Kota Allah kita, Ia membelanya untuk selama-lamanya.

As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)

9 Di dalam Rumah-Mu kami merenungkan kasih-Mu, ya Allah.

Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.

10 Nama-Mu termasyhur dan dipuji di seluruh bumi, Engkau memerintah dengan adil.

As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Biarlah rakyat Sion dan Yehuda bersorak gembira, karena Engkau menghukum lawan mereka.

Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.

12 Kelilingilah Sion, putarilah dia, dan hitunglah menaranya.

Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.

13 Perhatikan temboknya, periksalah bentengnya, supaya kamu dapat menceritakan kepada keturunanmu;

Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.

14 "Dialah Allah, Allah kita untuk selama-lamanya, Dia akan memimpin kita sampai kekal."

Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
